Facebook has become increasingly anti-free speech by deleting legal content it finds inappropriate and or against facebooks beliefs in private/secret groups. Secret groups are a way for like-minded people to share ideas, beliefs, and content in a forum designed to opt-in and participate in within a closed private group. Facebook has taken it upon themselves to remove and punish those (aka Facebook Jail) for posting legal content it disagrees with. Please sign this petition and share in the interest of free speech and protecting our 1st amendment! We the people are not helpless and must demand our rights!

Charges against Al Franken are clearly bogus. No one was hurt; no one was pressured to do anything against their will. There is a vast difference between two adults in front of a camera and a lecher and a young girl in a car behind a dumpster or a president viewing all women as targets for his own lechery. The rush to judgment on Franken devalues all the real sexual predator charges brought against others.

An ethics investigation into the Republican tax plan is needed. As many as 14 Republican senators, in addition to Donald Trump and his family, stand to gain millions of dollars from the GOP's tax plan that was just passed due to loopholes for real estate moguls. One Republican senator, Bob Corker, was a "no" on the tax plan just days ago until the last-minute loophole (coined the #CorkerKickback) was added, and now stands to benefit substantially. My children, my grandchildren, and I will end up paying for their personal financial gain, as well as the plan's $1.5 trillion dollar increase to OUR national debt.  What's worse, the GOP tax plan will also force millions losing their health care to help pay for the massive giveaway to the 1%. And, it does nothing to close existing loopholes that had already benefitted the wealthiest donors, lobbyists, and corporations.

Our group strongly believes that everyone should be granted the same learning opportunities despite their social/economic status. The Local Control Funding Formula as it is today does not regulate the spending of the additional money given to school districts enough. By doing so the money that should be used to give learning opportunities to high needs students, are used for other things. By signing this petition you could help us bring the issue to the House and the Senate of the State of California and create a more equitable school funding system.

Direct Action Everywhere (DxE) recently investigated a pig farm in Ontario and found mother pigs confined so tightly they could not turn around and were forced to lay in their own waste. They also found female pigs with horrific prolapses and baby piglets who were dead and dying. Many piglets were discarded like garbage. While investigating the farm, the activists rescued Noel, a piglet who was in need of medical care. They rushed him to the vet and to sanctuary where he was nursed back to health and now lives safe, happy and free. While Noel is now safe, the activists had to leave thousands of pigs behind. A complaint was submitted to the Ontario SPCA, citing extreme animal cruelty, but no action was taken. Sign the petition and ask the OSPCA to act now!

Senator Corker just announced that he did not read the specific clauses of the new tax bill which benefit him financially. I want to know that every single member of Congress, especially those who stand to benefit from tax cuts and/or tax increases on American citizens has read the tax bill in its entirety and is held responsible for every single section of that bill before it becomes the law of the land, and is in effect for many years.

Our country is being devastated by an opioid crisis while our duly elected Republican congressmen accept bribes to pass laws protecting the pharmacutical companies from DEA enforcement.

I work at a cat and dog rescue and the amount of dogs that get surrendered because of their owners moving, I feel is unnecessary and cruel. Also, I feel like - no I know that - so many more dogs could find their forever homes IF they had a fair chance and not automatically denied because of their certain breed! There are over 14 different dog breed restrictions for housing. Please help!

The Organic Livestock and Poultry Practices rule is an important step in both humane agricultural standards and informed organic labelling. Consumers deserve accurate information, and measures to minimize animal cruelty must be in place.

Kentucky Resident's ONLY and Please ONLY Sign Once. We Are Grateful To Those That SHARE This Petition!!! Kinship Care is about keeping children (who have been removed from their homes) with familial connections and keeping them out of foster care. There are approximately 70,000 children in Kentucky living with relatives and most are (grandparents). Kentucky has twice the rate of drug-dependent babies than the U.S. Oftentimes, those babies are placed with relatives (Kinship Caregivers) other than the parents. Many Kinship Caregivers have one adult in the home quit their job to care for drug-dependent babies because they require so much extra assistance. We Need Your Help To Reinstate Kinship Care To Help Grandparents Support These Children! You Should Be a Kentucky Resident. First and Last name makes a stronger impression!

The tax bill now before Congress will touch upon every facet of our lives. The changes it will bring about are profound and deep. This is good governance and avoids any possible conflict of interest thus ensuring the people’s interest are the top priority.

Our daughter-in-law has family in Puerto Rico and she has told us how some of them have lost their homes, their livelihood, and their hope for the future.
